Dollars and Sense?

Just one of the many similar comments we are seeing on the internet to the expensive online coverage of Act 13 racing and beyond....

America's Cup Update

Today's racing was a mixed bag as the weather was iffy apparently. Second race was cancelled. In the first race, BMW came out of nowhere on the last leg to overtake 5 boats and cross the line first. My favorites, Shosholoza came in second. I would love to see them win the whole thing. America's Cup in Cape Town possibly the same year as the World Cup (soccer that is). I might emigrate.

I was also a little disappointed by the multimedia coverage. In this age of Youtube, you sort of expect it all to be free all the time but the America's Cup organizers must be short of a few bucks/bob as they charge an ambitious $39.99 for multimedia coverage. This is to watch very hard to follow animations and videos. Quelle Rip-off!
